Translation

Ya me voy de tu tierra

Already leaving your land

Mexicana bonita

Beautiful Mexican

Bondadosa y gentil

Kind and gentle

Y lo hago emocionado

And I do it excited

Como si en ella dejara

As if leaving a piece of me in it

Un pedazo de mí

A piece of me


Ya me voy, linda lupe

Already leaving, beautiful Lupe

Y me llevo conmigo

And I take with me

Un rayito de luz

A little ray of light

Que me dieron tus ojos

That your eyes gave me

Virgen guadalupana

Guadalupean Virgin

La tarde en que te vi

The afternoon I saw you


Golondrina sin nido

Swallow without a nest

Era yo en el camino

I was on the road

Cuando te conocí

When I met you

Tú me abriste tu pecho

You opened your chest to me

Con amor bien sentido

With well-felt love

Yo me anidé en ti

I nested in you


Y ahora que me alejo

And now that I leave

Para el deber cumplir

To fulfill the duty

Que mi tierra me llama

That my land calls me to

A vencer o a morir

To conquer or die

No me olvides, lupita

Do not forget me, Lupita

Ay, acuérdate de mí

Oh, remember me
